Rr lock diff on prerunner

I have a 1998 tacoma prerunner 4 cyl with the trd off-road package that i use mostly for highway use, but i was wondering if it was supposed to have a locker because i cant find the switch

 

I didn't think the real trd's came with the 4cyl??? How do you know its a TRD?

 

X2 someone probably put a sticker on it.

 

What are some other ways to tell if it has the package. ill never need the package, just wanted to know if i had it

 

I think their is a website where you can enter your vin and it will tell you exactly what it had when new. Never used it before only heard of it.

 

Thanks, you wouldnt know the name of it would ya

 

Apparently there were a handful of them produced. I thought the same thing until someone physically showed me one.

 

There are 4 cyl TRDs, but Im pretty sure only the V6 TRDs came with the rear diff locks. I test drove and 4 cyl DC TRD prerunner and it didnt have a diff lock but my V6 does. But Im not a doctor....so..

 

This is essentially correct. The TRD "package" was available on trucks with the 2.7L, and it would come equipped with an e-locker if it had the 5-speed manual trans. However, if the same truck had an automatic trans, it would not have the e-locker even tho it was a TRD model.

 

Hmmmmm interesting. Well op what trans do you have and where are the pics of this rare TRD lol

 

Yep back in 01 when my lease was running out on my 98 I looked at a 2.7 4x4 TRD extracab and it had the locker. I wound up selling the 98 and bought a 95.5 regular cab V6 instead. Another really rare one.
